You'll love the idyllic setting here… the garden vistas, quiet country lane in small rural hamlet, yet enjoy being within easy reach of 'Shakespeare in Love' beaches, the rivers and lakes of the Norfolk Broads, walks in Thetford Forest and the charm of the Cathedral City of Norwich. This place is a sanctuary away from work, offering a peace and seclusion that's an antidote to the stresses of modern life… especially after a dip in the heated pool. The famed big Norfolk skies are complimentary.

Whatever the time of year, Waterside seems to give you a warm welcome as you arrive... but especially if your break is to escape those Autumn and Winter blues. Greeted by a roaring fire and a few little treats, we’ll endeavour to ensure that you can begin to unwind.
As the nights begin to draw in, for us, Waterside has an extra special feel. There’s plenty of space, yet it’s warmth and cosiness offers a little bit of magic, it gives you a lift, raises your spirits.
Our fabulous kitchen is a great place to be, socialise, prepare meals, the dining room a more intimate space for impromptu meals or a dinner party, the garden room a lovely place to chill and the living room with the character of its beams, fireplace and focal point wood burner, somewhere to snuggle down with a glass of wine and catch a Sky movie (Sky Movies & Sports available from October).
Here you will have your own space - Private Entrance Hall; Living Room; Dining Room; Garden Room; Large Breakfast Kitchen; Three Double Bedrooms and Two Bathrooms (one en-suite).
The breakfast kitchen provides use of an American style fridge/freezer, a range style cooker with electric oven and a six burner gas hob plus a microwave. The usual crockery, cutlery, pots and pans.
We do have a washing machine and tumble dryer in our utility room. If you need to use any of these please let us know and we can facilitate this for you.
If you have children within your group, we can provide a Z-bed on request for the master bedroom (this is the additional single bed) and the second bedroom has a comfortable Futon Company single sofa bed. If you have toddlers please feel free to bring a travel cot, high chairs and baby gates if required.
Outside
Our heated swimming pool has proved a huge hit with our guests, whatever the weather. We keep it open until the end of September. However, from October the pool may be opened on individual request with advance notice prior to booking - a small daily charge would apply.
You can take a stroll in the gardens, enjoy the array of individual garden spaces, with tables for breakfast or lunch and of course the decked surrounds of the pool… weather permitting of course.
We have four sun loungers and other chairs around the pool. We also have two sets of water wings, several inflatable rings and other inflatables, plus some of the usual pool toys. You may need to bring extra wings depending on the age of the children and swimming abilities.
We also have a small BBQ in our 'herb garden' which is adjacent to the pool area - you'll see on the pictures the one showing the table and chairs (orange parasol), which is perfect if adults want to eat and drink, but still be in close proximity to the children in the pool.
There's plenty of space to park on the broad areas of our drive.

It's just a few minutes by car down to Necton village, which has a late opening general store and post office, open 7 days a week, which has a reasonable range of provisions, newspapers, wine, beer and spirits etc. There's also a butchers shop here too. The Windmill Public House in Necton is a pleasant stroll away from the house - about a mile. It has a restaurant and does a good Sunday Lunch. You will also find a children's play area adjacent to the main road through the village (Tuns Road).
The market town of Swaffham is just 6 miles away (5-10 minutes by car) and has Waitrose, Tesco and Asda supermarkets and a market each Saturday morning.

A fantastic cottage in the Norfolk countryside with amazing hosts. Highly recommended. Lorna and Dean were so helpful with everything. We stayed for 4 nights and made a couple of trips to Holkham Beach (40 mins north) and Thetford Forest (40 mins south). The kids loved the private pool. Would definitely visit again.

Dean2017-08-04T00:00:00Z

We had a wonderful 3 nights at Lorna and Dean's beautiful house. The grounds and house are plenty big enough for 2 families to share (the photos don't do it justice!). The pool was really the icing on the cake - the kids loved it - even swimming and playing in the rain! We also loved that there was some lovely places to sit outside and eat in the evenings. Lorna and Dean are fantastic hoss who made us all feel so welcome. Thanks for a wonderful stay!

Kerry2017-08-09T00:00:00Z

This was an incredibly enchanting, magical home to stay in. Lorna and Dean made us feel so welcome and comfortable! The garden was really special, a true English country 'Secret Garden', with the pool being the icing on the cake! The kitchen was perfect, and the beds super-comfortable. Such a memorable stay.

Ruth2017-09-01T00:00:00Z

We stayed for three nights in this beautiful cottage and were warmly welcomed by Lorna and Dean with fizz, flowers and strawberries plus goodies for the children! We loved everything about it, the cottage and its decor was wonderful, the gardens beautiful and the heated swimming pool the highlight for our two 14 year old boys, with fantastic seating and space around it for us to be able to sit and enjoy the garden too. Our little dog Elmo was also well catered for. The cottage had everything we needed and more and we shall definitely be back! We were a 40 minute drive from Wells and Holkham beaches but the journey took us through beautiful countryside which we all enjoyed every time. It was a very special stay. Book early, this lovely holiday destination will soon be sold out!

Nicky 2017-07-27T00:00:00Z

Gorgeous cottage in quiet location. Lovely pool, good temperature for us - warm enough to swim on a dull day. The kitchen is amazing - very sociable. Hosts are lovely. Quiet location suited us. Would recommend if you want to escape into Norfolk countryside.

Heather2017-07-16T00:00:00Z

Lovely place for a relaxing weekend catching up with family. Lorna and Dean were very accommodating and had lots of suggestions for things to do in the area. They even provided good weather!

joia2017-08-29T00:00:00Z

Lorna and Dean have a fantastic home that lets you escape and enjoy some over due R&R. The pictures don't do justice as you get so much more. This is by far one of the best retreats anyone could hope for. We hope to stay again soon.

Tom2017-08-06T00:00:00Z

I stayed at Lorna and Dean's place for a family holiday with 3 children under the age of 11 and we all had a fabulous time. The pool is great fun and the house is lovely, clean and spacious. Lorna and Dead were the perfect hosts, always willing to help and give advice on day trips. I would definitely recommend Lorna and Deans property for a great family summer holiday!

The accommodation on offer is a double room in my 2 bedroom end terrace (1930's) with parking directly outside. Could possibly accommodate a child in the bedroom also - there's room for a blow up mattress.
My approach is informal - guests are welcome to use the kitchen to prepare their own food and I'm happy to provide breakfast ie help yourself to what I've got in - usually a good variety.
At home is usually myself & very placid greyhound.
There's a back yard and enclosed back garden.

The house is basically '2 up, 2 down', bathroom is upstairs. There is a backyard with table & chairs and a private garden with lawn and shaded areas.

Dereham is a Norfolk Market Town - now quite busy. The immediate environment where the house is located is quiet and away from the main road. There are a few interesting historic buildings in the town quite a few pubs, a restaurant and the usual mix of fast food take aways.

Chris is very kind and he always asks if you need something. The room and the bathroom was very clean. Thank you again for the lift !

Alexandre2017-08-12T00:00:00Z

Chris is a great host. We have used AirBnB many times and Chris is definitely one of the nicest hosts we've encountered. He has a small, but nice house with a large clean bedroom and bathroom. Chris was kind enough to allow us access to use the kitchen and is very knowledgable about Norfolk, so do pick his brain! Thank you, Chris! P.S Chris also has a dog (a beautiful, friendly greyhound) so just be aware of that if you are allergic/etc.

Three-storey town house in a quiet cul-de-sac in Dereham (shown on some maps and signs as East Dereham), an easy walk from town centre, amenities and the mid-Norfolk heritage railway. Dereham is a great base for exploring the north and east coasts (good birdwatching), west Norfolk (historic King's Lynn and Sandringham) and the Broads. Easy access to Norwich by car and bus. Guest room is up two flights of stairs and we have a cat.

Good sized bedroom and shower room on top floor of 3-storey town house. Plenty of privacy. If you wish, we will offer a "continental" breakfast at no extra charge.

Dereham (also known as East Dereham, although strictly it ceased being called this in 1992!) is a busy market town with mostly free parking, giving you time to stroll around. There are museums, simple shops, a leisure centre, a golf course and lovely meadows to explore. Further afield are wildlife sites, both inland and on the coast, and the City of Norwich with its magnificent cathedral. The mid Norfolk Heritage Railway (just a short distance from our house) hosts a number of special events throughout the summer and Dereham is also home to an annual Blues Festival in July.

Excellent. Exactly as described.

Michael2017-07-09T00:00:00Z

A lovely simple home and easy going hosts who accommodated my needs and communicated clearly.

Phillip2016-11-20T00:00:00Z

This house was absolutely delightful! I recently took my 8 year old son to stay with me as we needed to attend a family funeral nearby. At a difficult time for us, Lesley and Paul's warm welcome, attention to detail and spotless warm home was a real comfort. The bed was lovely and there was a choice of coverings in case the night was warm. Fantastic shower and a nice selection of products to use (Lesley even found me more toothpaste when I had forgotten mine). The house is full of warmth and character and is also pristine, and Lesley and Paul were chatty without ever being intrusive. It is very easy to walk into Dereham within ten mins, and there is a brilliant 24 hours Marks and Spencer food shop and cash machine within a couple of minutes walk. An excellent place to stay in Norfolk!

Johanna2017-06-26T00:00:00Z

My 5 year old daughter and i have stayed with lesly on several occasions now and that should give you an indication of this review. Each and every time the hospitality was faultless. The room clean (a decent ensuite is always usefull with a child) and the hosts more than accomodating of any request i made. Can't find fault and will continue to stay here while on my regular visits to the area.

Samuel2017-05-21T00:00:00Z

The house and the room is spotlessly clean, Lesley is really welcoming and we have no hesitation about recommending this airbnb to anyone who wishes to stay with them.

Keith2017-07-02T00:00:00Z

Very well equipped,comfortable,en suite and quiet room with all the necessary amenities needed for a comfortable stay.

Peter2017-08-16T00:00:00Z

Lesley was very friendly, quick to reply to any questions and messages and very accommodating as we needed an early check-in.

Stuart2017-08-27T00:00:00Z

Lesley and her husband were very welcoming , happy to answer any questions, knowledgeable about the local area. Room and facilities were just as described,ideal for a stay whilst visiting relatives.We will certainly ask to stay again when visiting the area and recommend this as a place to stay. Many thanks .

My place is close to Dereham Town Centre, family-friendly activities, public transport. You’ll love my place because of Glendower House is literally 2 minutes walk into the town centre where you'll find all shops, places to eat etc. Glendower is quiet, set back from the road and has plenty of free parking and WiFi too. We have a range rooms and apartments to suit all needs..

What an amazing stay!! What a gorgeous house! Steve was so welcoming upon my arrival and gave me a tour of his beautiful home. Felt so welcomed into his home. Really felt like home away from home. Everything I was looking for on a business trip. The only problem is that I could almost not get out of bed in the morning after sinking in deep into the comfort of the bed!! Can't wait to return!

Venetia and her family were wonderful hosts and made us very comfortable during our stay. The room was clean and cosy, and we really enjoyed our stay. Thank you!

Jessica 2017-07-16T00:00:00Z

Venetia and Justin were perfect hosts and very helpful. The room was comfortable and clean with stunning views. The continental breakfast was super tasty and just what's needed before a long walk or day out in Norwich. We highly recommend this room- great value, great area, great people :-)

Jemima2017-05-01T00:00:00Z

Lovely house, just like the pictures. Venetia was very warm and friendly and provided us with a welcome cup of tea and cake on our arrival, served in beautiful porcelain. We enjoyed our stay. Thank you.

Janine2017-08-28T00:00:00Z

What a fantastic stay we had with lovely Venetia. Fantastic house, so tastefully done, very comfortable beds in lovely bedrooms with exclusive use of bathroom and living room. A perfect location to access all areas of Norfolk, be it Norwich and city centre shopping or fantastic beaches and nature reserves. Highly recommended! Hope to see you again soon Venetia...

Venetia's been great since the first sight when we tried finding our way to its private parking. She was a very attentive host and paid attention to every detail, such as my girlfriend was trembling due to rainy and cloudy weather and she made sure we would have heated up our room. The service was brilliant and she made sure our stay was comfortable and put at an ease. The room is quite spacious, the bathroom is for your own exclusive use and the cleanliness is superb! I highly recommend it!

glexandruu2017-06-30T00:00:00Z

Staying at Venetia's place was a real highlight of my time in Norfolk. I loved going back there at the end of each day. Filled with English charm and character it was the perfect place to unwind. I loved the view out of my bedroom window onto their garden. Venetia was so welcoming and very helpful with any tips and advice on the area. A delicious slice of home baked cake was a treat on arrival and warm pastries and toast with tea were perfect for breakfast. I couldn't recommend more!

We love our rural location. With no street lights, the quality of sleep we get here is great. As we are both ex-Londoners (although Dan is from Yaxham), when we moved back here permanently, we fell in love again with the peace, quiet and starry skies you can gaze at on clear nights. Our village is a friendly one, so knowing our neighbours and being part of such a nice community is a huge plus for us. There are nice walks and winding country lanes perfect for cycling on our doorstep, or it's a 40 minute drive to beautiful coastlines such as Wells.
Konnect bus 4 goes hourly into Dereham and Norwich. The Mid Norfolk Railway operates between Dereham and Wymondham. We recommend having a car to get around.

I loved staying with Amy and Dan. The room, the ensuite, the bed and all the lovely extras and luxuries they provided were better than a hotel and more than a home from home.

Douglas2016-06-27T00:00:00Z

Amy and Dan were excellent hosts and welcomed us with warmth. Your house they are renovating lovingly is very quiet; from here you can do a lot. It is not far to Norwich or to Cromer. The room was nicely furnished with everything necessary. It also has very nice lounges. Happy, Amy and Dan!

Georg2016-09-06T00:00:00Z

A lovely welcome to a beautiful, well thought out stay with everything you'd need. The ensuite room was very nice, exceptionally decorated. The other facilities were just the same. The guest kitchen and living room was if the same high standard. The surrounding area was beautiful and quiet. I loved it!!

Matt2016-07-25T00:00:00Z

We were made extremely welcome by Amy and Dan, nothing was too much trouble and I am sure we will be back to see them both again. The Room was as described and in a quiet neighbourhood on the edge of Yaxham Village. I had previous knowledge of the area before booking.

Tyrone2016-06-06T00:00:00Z

Amy was very welcoming and accommodating, and everything was as described. The house is in a pretty location next to an old railway station, and we had a great time staying there!

Joaquim2016-08-14T00:00:00Z

Although we were late in arriving, Amy was there waiting for us and was an excellent hostess. The accommodation was very comfortable, especially the bed. What we loved was that on the Sunday we managed to see and get a photo of a steam train, which I understand only runs in the Summer months - wonderful. Thank you for a lovely experience.

Annette2016-08-22T00:00:00Z

Thanks for our last minute booking on NYE! Amy and Dan were welcoming, friendly and nothing was too much trouble. Our room was fab, spotlessly clean and cosy. We got our own take away for the night, made better by having the open fire lit in our own guest living room. We had a super nights sleep and then to shower and have an amazing breakfast cooked by Dan, just perfect. It was the relaxing, quiet night we wanted. We wish you all the best for 2017. We would definitely recommend staying here to anyone.

Toilet is nice and clean. Amy and Daniel are a lovely and friendly couple and they will help you with what you want to know or do in the area. Definitely recommended...

Remarkable ... great ... fantastic, the English say ... Brindle (my Border Collie 4 years) and I were greeted by quite exceptionally Friend and Dan. Beautiful house of character for those who like the homes that have a history. In an equally unique environment with the old train line from Dereham to Wymondham Abbey (worth visiting). A line maintained and restored by an association (trust) named MNR (Mid Norfolk Railway), which in the period of my stay are 3 trips / day Returns weekend. The passage of these old trains kept roadworthy, the former Yaxham station (also preserved) is not to be missed. Comfort in English ... so 5 star ... first class amenities ... aid, counseling, availability of hosts and services beyond what can be expected ... Also, this is not the trouble to add ... for me it was already the ultimate ... more than I dared hope for this first experience with Airbnb.

Guy R.2016-10-16T00:00:00Z

We were made most welcome by Amy and her partner. The bed was very comfortable and the room and facilities were clean We had two superb breakfasts and enjoyable conversations. We will return. Thankyou and Happy Christmas.

Stunning barn conversion, perfectly positioned to explore Norfolk. Located on the outskirts of Beetley, the house is within walking distance of a good pub, and a short drive from all the conveniences in Dereham. With four double en-suite bedrooms, the barn is perfect for families or groups. It is designed and furnished to the standards one would expect in a boutique 5* hotel. Featured in 25 Beautiful Homes magazine, this house has the 'wow' factor to make your Norfolk break extra special!

The barn was originally built c. 1800 and was converted in 2006. The conversion has been very sympathetically done; with many of the rooms double or triple height, and timber beams throughout, the house is bright, airy and spacious throughout. For younger visitors, the many rooms and spaces make it great for hide and seek!
We have tried to put the emphasis on quality throughout the house, from Egyptian cotton bedsheets and towels, to handcrafted solid wood furniture in the bedrooms, the idea is to create a house that replicates a 5* hotel's standards but with the bucolic charm of a barn conversion.

The barn is situated on the outskirts of the villages of Old Beetley and Beetley, and around 1.5 miles from the historic village of North Elmham. It is literally round the corner from Spong Hill, the site of one of the most significant archaeological excavations in the UK. It has views onto open fields and is ideally situated for country walks. Beetley has a pub (The New Inn), a shop and a playing field, and is a quiet but friendly village. North Elmham has 2 pubs, a village shop, a chip shop / takeaway, a children's adventure playground and a sports field with tennis courts and skateboard ramp. Elmham has a long history, and guests can explore the remains of the Anglo-Saxon cathedral. Just outside of Beetley is the Gressenhall Rural Life Museum, a former workhouse which has been turned into a fascinating museum and education facility for children and adults alike. Here, the children can take tractor rides, practising milking cows and pet various animals.

A fantastic place to stay, we had a wonderful time. A very peaceful place and very close to the beach. Thank you for a lovely weekend away in Norfolk

Lisa2017-07-17T00:00:00Z

The barn is beautiful and spacious with enough space even for a large group. The rooms are all furnished to a high standard. The communication with Mark and Jacqueline was excellent and they responded to every query very quickly. A very comfortable stay, thank you.

Katie2017-07-10T00:00:00Z

This is a really great place in a beautiful part of Norfolk, ideally situated for day trips to Norwich, the beach or the countryside. The barn itself is big and really nicely decorated and appointed, and would comfortably house up to 8 guests. We used for a weekend meet up for old friends and it worked really well for this purpose. Plenty of space and great for socialising. The bedrooms and bathrooms have the feel of a pretty upmarket hotel. highly recommended.

Ol2017-05-07T00:00:00Z

We spent a long weekend away here for a family members 70th Birthday! There were 9 of us that went all a mix of ages and we all loved it! The house is absolutely beautiful!! We wanted somewhere where we can all be together and have plenty of space to come and go as we fancy - it was perfect! We spent time by the coast which was around a 30min-45min drive - lots to do and we all had a great time! The games were a great bonus too in the living room - had a lovely Saturday evening with a takeaway and games - thanks again we would definitely recommend to anyone wanting some time away in the country!

Jordan2017-05-14T00:00:00Z

Stayed here with family for my mum's 50th birthday, the barn is absolutely lovely! We had typical British summer time weather - rain, rain and more rain but plenty to do in the barn to keep ourselves amused. This was my first time using air bnb, I found Mark and Jacqueline very acommodating and helpful. I would highly recommend.

We chose this beautiful barn conversion for a family reunion, it was just perfect as the space it provided was ideal. Spacious and tastefully styled bedrooms all ensuite and high spec meant we were never crowded. There is a great warmth and cosy atmosphere throughout, the kitchen is so well equipped, a walk in pantry stocked with ample china and glass. The living room has piles of games to amuse and we could all envisage how nice it would be to stay there for Christmas! It's a fabulous conversion, high ceilings and rustic beams, but with modern facilities. Wouldn't hesitate to return or recommend.

Mark2017-08-23T00:00:00Z

Brilliant house for a large group, very well equipped and welcoming. A great base to explore North Norfolk or just to relax in space. Lacking in outdoor space and we would prefer to be within walking distance of a pub but would definitely recommend this property to friends.

Jan2017-08-20T00:00:00Z

Lovely place centrally located, easily in reach of much that Norfolk has to offer. Large, spacious and comfortable. Excellent facilities and well worth consideration for family holidays. We would return without hesitation. Thank you

A cosy bedroom with a large comfortable bed, located in a quiet area of our Victorian house. Private back staircase to room.
Original Victorian fireplace where the room overlooks the back garden and our tennis court.
Private toilet next to bedroom.
There's a shared modern bathroom with power shower.
Nearby pubs and cafes.

Ideally the space is used as a base to explore Norfolk. Guests can have access to the onsite tennis court at no extra charge.

It's a lovely rural area but also has access to nearby town centre of Dereham and 11 miles from Norwich. The seaside is 40 minutes drive.

Located in the village of Swanton Morley, 3 miles from the market town of Dereham. The village has a shop,two pubs and a children's park, all within walking distance .
We offer 2 double bedrooms upstairs, one with a double bed and one with a futon. Two bathrooms, 1 upstairs with a shower and 1 downstairs with shower and bath. Self catering kitchen. Lounge with TV, dining room with dinner table and a desk . Wooden floors throughout.
Lawned garden is fenced off from the road with an outdoor seating area. There is a trampoline for children guests can use at their own risk. Off road parking for 2 cars.
Good location for cycling as quiet flat lanes surround. 17 miles from Norwich and 45 minute drive from the sandy beaches of the Norfolk Coast. Car recommended but the village has an hourly bus service (Mon to Sat)to Dereham and Norwich.
Local attractions all within 12 miles include Gressenhall Farm and Work House Museum, Mid Norfolk Railway, Dinosaur Adventure, and Pensthorpe Natural Park.

The cottage is located in a gorgeous village close to many popular towns and villages we love to visit. We enjoyed walking to the local pub, The Darby just down the road for great food and great chats with the locals. The only issue was finding the house initially, clearer address would've been helpful. Anna was a perfect host and made booking super easy and I'd highly recommend the cottage, village and area to anyone! It was lovely to be able to bring our dog along too. Thank you so much!

Charlie2017-07-23T00:00:00Z

A great home that will comfortably sleep 4 plus your personal preference of a sofabed in the living room. Swanton Morley is a rural village with good amenities and the house is nicely located. Brisk morning walks abound!

Mike2017-09-08T00:00:00Z

We stayed here just for the one night as we were going to a wedding nearby so unfortunately, it was far too short. It's a lovely house with everything you need for a holiday. The location is good for getting around Norfolk and the house is nice and cosy. We'll definitely come back for a longer stay. Thoroughly recommended.

Sara2017-07-16T00:00:00Z

Lovely clean house, very peaceful area. Would definitely stay again!

My place is close to The Norfolk countryside - wonderful villages, beautiful beach at Holkham, Norfolk Broads, great places for birding. Norwich and Sandringham. North Elmham hosts a pub, an excellent tea room and is very central for accessing the rest of Norfolk. Most places are within a 40 minute drive. My place is good for couples, business travellers, and families. Cupboard full of games and jigsaws should the sun not shine.

The lounge is bright and sunny with good space and comfortable seating.
The kitchen and dining area have lots of natural light with large windows.
There are two double bedrooms but the area around the beds is limited as I chose to put in kingsize beds. The upstairs single room has good moving space and the downstairs single room has limited space as it has a wider single bed in it, with electric controls for those with more limited mobility.

North Elmham is a very friendly village. 'The Teapost' in Holt Road serves excellent food for breakfast, coffee and lunch. The Kings Head pub serves
excellent evening meals. Both are within walking distance.
There is a modern, well equipped children's play area on the green. Access is directly opposite Forge Cottage. The green is very large so no noise can be heard from the play area.

Lovely modern cottage, nice quiet location (though with a pub and shop in walking distance), playground across the road great for the children. Limited mobile phone coverage, but access to a landline and wifi was fine for us.

Andrew2016-08-01T00:00:00Z

An enjoyable and relaxing stay at Forge Cottage. We visited with 4 adults and 2 young children and found the cottage to be spacious and comfortable for us all. It was spotlessly clean, homely and very well-equipped, everything was thought of. The playground and park area opposite were great for entertaining the children! We found the village to be friendly and peaceful, nice to stroll around for an evening walk or to pop into the local Tea Post for breakfast. A good location for exploring the nearby coast; we visited Wells, Holkham, Cromer and Sheringham within 35-40min drives. Doreen was very prompt in replying to any queries and there was good,easy communication before and during our stay. Would definitely consider staying again.

sara2017-08-27T00:00:00Z

Having stayed here for 3 months the house became ahe away from home. It was always warm, with no problems with heating or water. Beds were comfortable and there was plenty of room for a large family. Neighbourhood was nice, I recommend the teapost for breakfast! Doreen and James were fantastic hosts.

Rachel2016-12-23T00:00:00Z

Lovely cottage, very comfortable and well located for exploring North Norfolk.

Susan2016-09-19T00:00:00Z

This is an incredibly well appointed cottage. We went with 3 80 year olds and they didn't grumble at all! Quite the opposite, full of praise. Everything you need is there and all well presented. Good location for exploring North Norfolk where there is a lot to see. Brilliant.

Mike2017-04-18T00:00:00Z

Lovely Idyllic cottage in a wonderful town in Norfolk. Friendly neighbours and a wonderful tea house about a 5-7 minute walk from the property called the Tea Post. Nice welcome basket left which was a nice touch.

Krupa2017-08-21T00:00:00Z

Fantastic property, we gained an incredible sense of it being a true home-from-home within minutes of arriving! Wouldn't hesitate to book again and recommend that others do the same! :)

Leigh2017-08-04T00:00:00Z

We had a wonderful stay in at Forge Cottage over Christmas. With Doreen we experienced excellent communication, attention to detail and she had even decked the house out so nicely for Christmas for us. We found the cottage perfect in every way for our stay both in terms of location in the lovely village and the modern house itself very well equipped and comfortable and yet with an 'old cottage' character. We very much hope to find another excuse to visit again. Top drawer in every way!

The cottage is close to public transport, family-friendly activities, walks, pub, shop, church. You’ll love the cottage because of the cosiness, set in a friendly Norfolk village, opposite the village green and pond. We are good for couples, solo adventurers, business travellers, families with children 5 years old and above.
The cottage has a cosy sitting room, kitchen diner and two bedrooms both with en suite facilities. One bedroom has a double bed, the other has two singles.

Home from home in a relaxed rural setting.

Fabulous!!! We have views across the village green on one side and overlook the village pond on the other. It's a really friendly little village that's not too far from anywhere

Lovely, very clean and comfortable. Pleasant surroundings, with good walks on your doorstep.

Excellent throughout. Would highly recommend the cottage to anyone considering Norfolk for a visit.

Lewis2016-07-25T00:00:00Z

Great host, very friendly and accommodating, woulda definitely recommend

Vincent2017-03-02T00:00:00Z

Amanda was a lovely host. She was ready to greet us on our arrival & had kindly put milk in the fridge for us. We were only staying one night as we had tickets for the Thursford Christmas Show. Amanda wrote down instructions on how to get there as our sat nav would have taken us through all the little villages. Bedding & towels are beutifully clean ... Would highly recommend.

Jane2016-11-20T00:00:00Z

We only used facilities to lay our heads as we had a family wedding to attend locally. Accommodation was lovely with personal touches of Christmas decorations and chocolates. Quiet location with plenty of ducks to keep you company!!! :-). Host couldn't do enough. Overall great stay.

Lisa2016-12-18T00:00:00Z

Really enjoyed our stay at the cottage, Amanda was very welcoming and helpful. Particularly enjoyed feeding the ducks and taking the dog for walks around the common. Thank you!

Stephen2017-07-10T00:00:00Z

A lovely cottage that is set in a wonderful little village, friendly and accommodating and the hosts are great too. We travelled as a family and this suited us perfectly. Very well equipped and presented. Highly Recommend

Quiet, small, rural village in the heart of Norfolk. 30 minute drive from the coast, 40 minutes from Norwich/Kings Lynn. 10 minute drive from nearest town, Fakenham, with full range of amenities, including a Tesco open until 10pm. Plenty of walks to do in and around the village. 10 minjte drive from Godwick Barn, wedding venue.

We both really enjoyed staying at Dawn's place. it was a home from home, very quiet and peaceful and somewhere to chill out after a hectic day looking after our grandchildren! The bed was really comfy and soft with really soft pillows, which was perfect to relax with my book. We didn't have a chance to eat out at all but would love to if we come again. We found all the facilities perfectly adequate. So thank you Dawn for a very restful stay.

Neville2017-08-18T00:00:00Z

Quiet scenic area is an opportunity to recharge your batteries. And still close to all that Norfolk offers, which is a lot. Very comfortable, small cottage. If not cooking major meals, kitchen is adequate. Great restaurant (Brisley Bell) in next village. I can recommend Dawns place highly - and she is a charming and helpful hostess.

Dawn was very welcoming and the annex was lovely. It was very peaceful and the perfect location for us attending a wedding at Godwick Great Barn, just a 7 minute drive away. Would love to come back and explore the area and would definitely stay here again. Thanks Dawn for a lovely stay and for the loan of your iron and ironing board!

Great accommodation in a quiet part of Norfolk, in easy driving distance of Norwich. The annex is very clean and homely and just as described. Dawn was a great host, and Luna the dog is very friendly and well behaved. We had a great four nights stay here and would certainly return.

Natalie2017-07-21T00:00:00Z

Derek2017-02-25T00:00:00Z

Hello ...our home is part of what was once a tannery in the late 1880's. Snuggled in a rural hamlet with a river frontage garden.
A lovely converted barn bedroom with an independent entrance, giving privacy from the main home. Great location- Norwich City only 17 miles away!

Peaceful location with great walks on the doorstep amongst woods, river and fishing lakes.
Watch the star filled sky from your bed via the roof velux window above,

Rural idle but not to far from civilisation- local pub within walking distance

Spa-like atmosphere, very clean and cozy, and very quiet. A perfect retreat on a hectic trip. Many thanks.

Cosy Cottage is a self-contained recently renovated barn conversion beautifully decorated throughout in a tasteful nautical theme. It's location is ideal for exploring all that Norfolk has to offer. It is situated in a shared garden with use of the summer house, various seating areas and BBQ. The Kings Head which offers exquisite cuisine is just a five minute walk away and the Teapost offering delicious cooked breakfasts is just 2 minutes away.

Cosy Cottage is a self-contained converted outbuilding situated in a quite off-road location with access to the extensive gardens and summer house. It is decorated in a delightful beach theme throughout and features a double bedroom, lounge, well-equipped kitchen, dining area and large walk-in shower room. With an HD TV and DVD player in the cottage, you can cosy up on the sofa and enjoy a quite night in. There is also secure parking.

We had a great stay at Cosy cottage. John and Linda could not have been more helpful or accommodating (especially thankful for the high chair and cot for our 11 month old). The cottage is immaculate and felt like a haven... true relaxation set in! The garden is gorgeous and a great space to chill out. The location is great for the nearby beaches and villlages like Holt and wells. We had a lovely time - wouldn't hesitate to book again!

Sara2017-08-16T00:00:00Z

We loved our stay at cosy cottage. It is very well equipped, very comfortable and we loved the log burner! John & Linda are great hosts and gave some helpful tips on places to go etc. We would recommend staying here and would definitely stay again if we return to the area.

Jenny2016-02-15T00:00:00Z

We had the best time - would highly recommend anyone to stay at Cosy Cottage.

Eleanor2017-02-25T00:00:00Z

Christopher2016-03-21T00:00:00Z

John & Linda made us very welcome by greeting us and giving a lot of information about places of local interest, where to eat etc. Cottage is as described cosy and very comfortable, very well equipped with everything you need, they are very helpful and nothing is to much trouble. Great garden to sit and have your meals in and listen to the birds. Had a lovely stay will definitely return for longer next time. Thanks again Elaine & Tony.

Elaine2016-05-24T00:00:00Z

What a great find Cosy Cottage has been. The cottage, although on the owner premises is detached and you welcomed to use the drive. The finish of the cottage is great with the bed and sheet very comfortable. The shower room is spacious and just off the bedroom. Plenty of draw space. We are looking forward to our return in September! Your hosts will assist you in as much as you need and local knowledge is excellent. We were directed on to a 10 mile circular cycle route which was most enjoyable.

If you're considering this place, very highly recommend booking it - you will be pleasantly surprised and have a lovely time.

Mathew2017-08-02T00:00:00Z

Jon and lisa were perfect hosts, we had a long drive on our check in night and they made us feel so welcome when we arrived by offering us tea and coffee and some delicious lemon cake. We felt right at home with all the little home comforts. We Loved the garden and went for a little walk in the morning and it is beautiful and alot of work has gone into it. As for baby willows, it is perfect for any type of stay, and we found there was everything we needed, to cook dinner with or even in the bedrooms, the beds were so comfy and very easy to fall asleep in. All round 5 star stay, we couldn't fault it.

Lauren2017-07-23T00:00:00Z

Tony2017-05-29T00:00:00Z

John2017-07-17T00:00:00Z

I stayed at baby willows for 2 nights in the Easter holiday with my 2 children ages 5 and 8. The home is in a lovely small town/village with a lovely little tea Troon, well equips shop and a great playground for the children, it was bout 30 mins from the beautiful costal towns of Croma and Sherringham and a great location to explore Norfolk. To say we were made to feel like home was an understatement. We were welcomed by Jon and Lisa who immediately provided us with a pot of tea, drinks for the kids drink and the best flapjack I have ever tasted! We were taken into the holiday let which was a lovely annex next to Jon and Lisa's beautiful home. It was equipt with everything you could ask for. We were left a welcoming basket of bread, biscuits and eggs, and milk in the fridge. Which was great for us as we spent so long on the beach that day that the shops were closed on our way so we were thrilled to see breakfast was sorted! The beds were so comfortable, best night sleep. There were toys, dvd's and games for the kids. There is a lovely conservatory where enjoyed eating our breakfast in the sunshine each morning. We also had a privet garden leading in to a meadow where the children we're also invited to run around and enjoy. My girls loved next doors horse who came over to see them every morning. The best part for our children was sunny, the fluffy cheeky friendly cocker poo! He is just adorable! My children just fell in love with him, I have promised we will come back and visit again soon! I want to say a huge thank you to Jon and Lisa who made us feel so welcome at their beautiful home. We will be back to stay again soon. :-)

Lyndsay2017-04-11T00:00:00Z

What a great place to stay - with fresh yummy home-made cake and a cheery greeting from Jon on arrival at this unbelievably tranquil spot in Norfolk. As a self-catering base it has everything you could want - from a properly equipped kitchen (sharp kitchen knives - result!) and decent soft towels to separate shower room and good grade audio/TV. Beautiful outlook and gardens that were safe and secluded it made us wish we had kids young enough to take back there as it would be brilliant for families.

Adam2017-06-18T00:00:00Z

Jon and Lisa were amazing hosts. On arrival Lisa had cooked some flapjacks for us and there was some goodies and wine and milk for us which we felt was a lovely gesture. The photos had not done the cottage justice as it was bigger, lovely decor, there was 6 of us and the cottage was perfect for our weekend getaway. The cottage is in beautiful grounds and the hosts r near so are able to help if needed. The village has a shop (a little pricey so would recommend you take what you need).

Tina2016-09-18T00:00:00Z

Super location, surrounded by fields near a quaint village. The house had everything we needed for the long weekend, was perfectly comfortable and Jon and family were exceptionally helpful. He left us a goody-bag upon arrival including a delicious coffee cake! Also, the most fantastic dog!! Thanks Jon!

Horseshoe Barn is down a country road. It is attached to a bigger main house. It has a vaulted ceiling and a 30 ft bedroom. It's big on design and feels old but with a contemporary touch. It is equal distance to Norwich and the Coast.
The only word of caution is that it has a design staircase which guests should be aware and careful going up and down. It's not steep but angled strangely.

The neighbourhood is great, it is equal distance between Norwich and the North Norfolk coast. There is a village nearby with butcher, cafe, shop pharmacy etc. There is a Tesco extra ( NR19 1WB) open 24 hours about five minutes away and a Morrisons, Station Road, Dereham, Nr19 1DA, in the next town. For eating out there is the Southgreen Cafe Bar about ten minutes away NR20 3J it does a great sunday roast. The local pub The Swan is good for food but has no atmosphere. If you want the best places you have to drive to the Gunston Arms on the Cromer Road NR11 8TZ. If you are visiting Norwich the Georgian Townhouse is great for food and atmosphere also good for families. There is parking too, at the Georgian Townhouse. The Warwick Street Social is also really good and has a great roast. 2 Warwick St, Norwich NR2 3LD

A lovely place to stay! Is a lot bigger than on pictures

Liz2017-05-28T00:00:00Z

The pool was nice and private. The inside of the house is very homely. Nothing to complain about Maggie was very friendly and let us have a BBQ in the back garden

Carl2017-09-04T00:00:00Z

The property is fantastic all you could need facilities wise and more than enough space for two people. Would also suit a small family. Maggie is a fantastic host.
